Our response to Donald Low: Legalizing euthanasia has consequences and is not safe.

On September 18, 2013, Dr Donald Low, the Canadian Microbiologist who became famous for his response to the SARS crisis in 2003, died from complications related to a brain stem tumour.Eight days before he died, Low participated in a short video where he spoke about his fears related to dying with the disabling conditions that may result from his disease.
Low spoke about his wish to die by euthanasia or assisted suicide in Canada. He points out that it is simply impossible, in Canada, to die by euthanasia.

The book -Exposing Vulnerable People to Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, which is based on research from the Netherlands and Belgium concludes that when a doctor reports a euthanasia death, usually the rules of the euthanasia law are followed, but when a doctor does not report a euthanasia death it is usually because the doctor did not follow the rules of the euthanasia law.Legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide has consequences and is not safe.
